Regis University is inspired by the particular vision of St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), which poses the challenge to think critically, engage in personal reflection and serve those in need.

The Writing Program

This Writing Program assists students in developing their writing skills in multiple fields, provides resources for students and teachers of writing, and creates a system of support through upperclassmen assistants. The Writing Program aids freshmen in developing their writing skills through Freshmen Writing Seminars.

Writing Analytically

Writing Analytically is a writing-intensive seminar for students in the first semester of their first year at Regis. The sections are all limited to 17 entering students and are taught by faculty from different academic disciplines.

Although the topics of the seminar vary from section to section, all share a common emphasis on critical reading, thinking and writing, which are the central elements of the college learning process. Students will be required to do various kinds of writing, including expository, analytical and research-based writing. A list of course descriptions can be found here.

The seminar also serves as an orientation to college life and addresses transitional issues of first-year students. To facilitate this orientation and transition, the seminar faculty instructor serves as each student’s academic advisor until the student declares a major.

Tools for Improving Your Writing

This is a collection of helpful tools available on the Regis campus and on the web to help answer your questions about writing.

This should be your first stop when you get stuck, have a question or just need to talk through a difficult topic. The Writing Center is for all writers, at all levels, and is staffed with talented peer consultants. Don’t pass up the chance to use this amazing resource, located in the Learning Commons Suite on the second floor of Clarke Hall.

The Regis Library offers a wealth of databases for student research, as well as books and journals for check-out. If Regis does not have your resource in their collection, that resource can be requested from a different library through the Interlibrary Loan System.

The Purdue Writing Center has been building this free resource for about 30 years. This website discusses all aspects of academic and professional writing, including citation. Use this to answer many of those nagging questions, or to help clarify instructor comments.

Well, we know not to do it… but what is "it"? What is the best way to not steal other people’s work, and how is writing in the digital age getting more complex? This organization has compiled some resources to help you better understand and explore this topic.
